NON-SPILLABLE MILK-FAIL.

Application lerl August 17,

To all whom t may concern f Be it known that I, PAUL SANDENO, a subjectof the King of Norway, residing at Seattle, in county of King and Stateof lVashington, have invented certain new and useful Improvements inNon-Spillable Milk- Pails, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to an in non-spillable milk pails, is to providea cover having a receptacle formed therein, which receptacle is providedwith outlet openings, and means for closing the outlet opening after thepail or can has been filled.

The invention relates to still other novel features of construction andcombinations of parts which will be hereinafter more fully described andpointed out in the claim.

In the accompanying drawings: Figure 1 is a vertical sectional viewthrough the can; and Fig. 2 is a top plan view.

A represents the can or pail, and B is the cover. The upper edge of thepail or can is provided with a beading 1, and an annular flange 2 isformed along the lower edge and on the exterior wall of the cover B.Received within the flange is a rubber gasket 3, against which thebeading 1 is received. Forked straps 4f, 4 are connected to the exteriorwall of the cover B, and hinged bolts 5 are connected to the wall of thepail or can A. These bolts are adapted to be swung into the forked endsof the straps I and are connected to the straps by means of the thumbnuts which are screwed upon the bolts for drawing the cover and cantogether and producing' a tight joint.

The cover B is provided with a recess in the upper surface thereof,producing an inlet chamber 7. An annular' flange 8 is formed on thebottom of the chamber' 7, producing an inlet to the can or pail A.

- rod for the purpose Patented May 16, 1916. 1914. serial No. 857,156.

A fine mesh screen 9 is supported within the annular flange forstraining the milk or liquid as it is discharged into the can. A rubberwasher 10 is connected to the flange, and a lid 11 is hinged to one endof the flange. Pivotally connected to the cover is a rod 12 having aknob 13 for actuating the of moving the lid to an open or closedposition. A coil spring 14 is interposed between the knob 13 and thewalls of the cover B for normally maintaining the lid 11 in a closedposition.

lVhen the lid l1 is closed, the can can be rolled on its side danger ofthe milk issuing therefrom. lVhen, however, it is desired to remove themilk from the can, the cover B is removed therefrom.

From the foregoing it will be seen that a very simple arrangement hasbeen provided consisting' of few parts and a. cover made of a singlepiece of material providing a recess 7 and an annular flange 8; in theflange 8 the strainer is mounted, and connected to the lower edgethereof is a hinged lid 11 for forming a closure therefor.

I claim:

A milk pail comprising a cylindrical lower part and a domed upper part,means for detachably seeming the parts together, a bowl shapeddepression formed in said upper part having a valve closed outlet at itsbottom, a

rod held yieldingly extended through they side of the upper part andarranged to be depressed by the operator to open said valve closedoutlet.

In testimony whereof I aflix my signature, in the presence of twowitnesses.
